SEEMS IMMINENT
IN ALL RUSSIA
Constitutional Democrats in Parliament
Ready to Join Revolutionists.
GOVERNMENT NOW FEARS A REPETITION OF
OUTBREAK OF NOVEMBER—ANARCHY AND
LAWLESSNESS ARE RAPIDLY SPREADING
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY —THE GOV
ERNMENT IS UNEASY.
St. Petersburg, June 18.—The Constitutional Dem
ocrats in the lower house seem almost ready to join the
Revolutionists. The leaders of the Constitutional Dem
ocrats are urging the necessity of keeping pace with the
revolutionary movement lest they be overwhelmed and
stranded.
The bakeries remain closed today, as the strikers
threaterl to wreck shops where attempts are made to
bake bread. Little hardshi p has resulted so far.
News from the interior sliows that the wave of
strikes is spreading. The usual number of riotings are
reported today, emphasizing the growing lawlessness
and anarchy in the country.
The government fears a repetition of the November
mutiny at the Cronstadt fortress, where the sailors, ma
rines and workmen are reported to be extremely turbu
lent. Two regiments of infantry ,two batteries of artil
lery and two machines gun batteries have been for
warded in haste. The streets are filled with troops, and
inhabitants are hurriedly leaving.

The Country on the Verge of Another Upheaval.
SOFT COAL MINERS
IDLE SINCE APRIL
RESUME WORK.
1 Kansas City, June 18.—A majority
of the soft coal mines, which shut
down April 1 in Missouri, Kansas, In
dian Territory and Arkansas, resumed
operations this morning as the result
of the recent agreement between the
operators and miners. A revolt Is
threatened In the district of Indian
Territory and Arkansas, and reporta
from eight locals near Hartford, Ark.,
say that the strike may he continued.
SENATE INSISTS
ON AMENDMENTS.
Washington, June 18. — The 3enate
today decided to Insist on Its amend-
ment to the naval appropriation bill
and to ask for a further conference
iiilH
SL Petersburg, June 17.—The gen-
eral situation Is hourly growing more
disquieting, and the country seems to
be on the verge of nnother gigantic
upheaval. In St. Petersburg and Mos
cow the populace is greatly excited,
and nothing is talked of except a gen-
eral political strike, which would bring
the government to Its knees.
The proletariat leaders, who have
been preparing for months for a blow,
believe the moment has come to
strike. The agrarian troubles now are
sufficiently extended and disorders In
the army are rife. The government
ha§ openly refused to accede to the
demands of Parliament, and a rupture
Is Imminent there.
The ultimate plans of the leaders
depend upon the success achieved, but
if the government is brought down, it
Is not doubted they are determined
that they and not Parliament shall
take over the reins of government and
forever enjoy the fruits of victory.
Are Really Political.
Incipient strikes In St. Petersburg
and Moscow with which the movement
was started, while based ostensibly on
economic grounds, really are purely
political. The committee of the unem
ployed Is only a revolutionary organi
sation, last fall’s committee of work-
men In disguise.
The bakers of St. Petersburg and
adjoining towns struck today, and
only the black bread eaten by the poor
was sold. The streets were filled with
crowds of workmen.
A correspondent of the Associated
PreBs was stopped today In one of the
suburban towns by a workman who
demanded money without the slightest
embarrassment. He announced that
those who had money might as well
divide It, as the workmen soon would
be able to take what they wanted.
Monster Meeting In Finland.
A monster meeting of 16,000 Social
Democrats and workmen held this af
ternoon at Terloki, Finland, was ad
dressed by several members of the
"Group of Toll" of, parliament and ev
ery revolutionary utterance was fran
tically applauded.
The government appears to be wait
ing for the blow to fall before raising
its hand, and It Is reported that the
design of several ministers to raise
the question of a more active policy
during the cabinet meeting yesterday
was apparently fruitless. Heavy pa
trols have been placed in the streets,
and the railroad stations are occupied
by troops, but no action has been tak
en to stop the agitation. The emperor
Is reported to be spending most of his
time playing tenniB at Feterhof.
General Strike Expected.
A general strike is expected to be
Inaugurated on the Nicholas railroad
between St. Petersburg and Mobcow,
which was the only line out of Mos
cow that was not affected during the
uprising last December. The workmen
In the shops of the Syzran & Vlamlrl
railroad have struck, but apparently
the demonstration Is premature. The
Rech today again appeals to the em
peror to try to save the situation by
dismissing Premier Goremykin and
placing members of parliament who
enjoy a measure of public confidence,
In control of the government.
Admiral Blrelleff, commandant of
the fortress at Cronstadt, has received
a grim warning In the shape of a cof
fin, which was delivered at his house.
INVADING REBELS MET BY SUPERIOR FORCE
^ND DEFEATED.

' The rebel Invasion from the Mexican border near Autlan Is a disas
trous failure, two hundred being killed or drowned. The rebellion has
been crushed on both frontiers, and there are no enemies on Guate
malan soli. The interior towns and the capital are perfectly quiet.

union miners and operators employing union labor, it was agreed to re
new the old wage scale, with the addition that any man unjustly suspend
ed or discharged must be paid the scale for the time of his enforced Idle
ness by the parties at fault. The present wage scale, on a sliding basis,

appropriation of $15,000 toward build

There are forty-nine house bills to

say about reform measures. The re

In the east and west would Indicate
that there Is a general movement on
foot all over the country In the Inter,
est of restricted legislation, and It
may be that Georgia will fall into
